In some embodiments, management software 102 can be by multiplying governable data center power sources (ddcPower) The power consumption (rPowerConsumption) of upper spider 120 is compared to total data center power consumption (tdcPowerConsumption) ratio come determine rack 120 power consumption control limitation (rLimit).For example, it manages Software can be by calculating rLimit=ddcPower* (rPowerConsumption/tdcPowerConsumption) come certainly Determine rack power supplies limitation.
In some embodiments, once calculating the power consumption control limitation of rack 120, management software 102 is transmittable with automatically controlled System is limited to rack 120.For example, management software 102 can be transmitted power consumption control and limit to the rack management control of rack 120 Device.In some embodiments, the rack power supplies limitation that rack 120 can be calculated according to management software 102 to manage power consumption automatically Amount.For example, power consumption control technical management rack 120 described below can be used in the Shelf Management Controller of rack 120 Power consumption.
Fig. 2 shows showing for the system 200 of the power consumption for managing a server rack of an embodiment according to the present invention It is intended to.System 200 shows the additional detail of system 100, as described above.In some embodiments, management software 102 is transmittable One rack power consumption control limits (rLimit) to rack 120.For example, management software 102 can be automatically in execution data The limitation of rack power consumption control is determined when the power consumption control of the heart, as described above.Management software 102, which can receive, comes from a server pipe The input of reason person, to specify the power consumption control limitation of rack 120.
In some embodiments, management software 102 can be limited with the rack power consumption control of conveyor frame 120 to rack management Controller (RMC) 204.For example, RMC 204 can be with the processor of rack level, each of rack 120 is monitored and controlled Kind function.For example, RMC 204 can be arranged in the power bay 122 of rack 120.RMC 204 can monitor power supply confession It answers the healthy situation of unit 202 and mitigates power failure (not being painted) by opening standby battery unit.RMC 204 can be monitored Temperature range in rack 120, and fan is opened, server, or adjustment power consumption are closed to reduce temperature and protect component.
In some embodiments, RMC 204 can monitoring server 210 and 220 power consumption.For example, RMC 204 can To be communicably coupled to the service controller (SC) 214 of server 210 and the service controller (SC) 224 of server 220. For example, service controller 214 and service controller 224 can be baseboard management controller (BMC) or management engine (ME).Clothes The power consumption of known mechanism monitors server 210 and 220 can be used in business controller 214 and 224.RMC 204 can be periodical Ground from service controller obtain power consumption measurement so that RMC 204 can monitoring server 210 and 220 power consumption and pipe Manage the power consumption of rack 120.The power consumption of RMC 204 can transmit power consumption measurement to management software 102 in turn, with So that server administrators can be with the power consumption of monitoring server and implementation power consumption control strategy.
In some embodiments, RMC 204 can connect by the power consumption of server 210 and 220 and from management software 102 The power consumption control limitation (rLimit) of the rack received is compared, to determine when start power consumption control mode rack 120.It lifts For example, RMC 204 can more each server 210,220 and the power supply limit as specified by management software 102 to rack 120 System.RMC 204 can for each server 210 and 220 in rack 120 aggregation from service controller 214 and Service controll Power consumption measurement received by device 224, to determine the total power consumption of rack 120.For example, aggregation (example can be passed through The power consumption of Servers-all calculates the total power consumption in rack 120 such as: summation, total) in rack 12.If rack 120 Total power consumption be greater than threshold value (for example, 90% of the limitation of specified rack power supplies), then RMC 204 can be automatically into power consumption control Mode.RMC 204 can be continuously monitored the total power consumption of rack 120 and be brought down below a threshold in the total power consumption of rack 120 Power consumption control mode is left when value (for example, 70% of specified rack power supplies limitation).For example, different threshold values can be used for determining Determine the when into and out power consumption control mode of rack 120.
In some embodiments, RMC 204 can automatically determine rack when rack 120 enters power consumption control mode The power consumption control limitation of server 210 and 220 in 120.For example, RMC 204 can enter power consumption control mould in rack 120 The power consumption that limits in rack 120 Servers-all is limited to each server by setting power consumption when formula.In order to determine The power consumption control of server 210 and 220 in rack 120 limits, and RMC 204 can determine to can be used for can freely dividing for rack 120 The rack power supplies quantity (the amount of discretionary power) matched.For example, the rack that can freely distribute Power supply corresponds to the electricity distributed between the server that can have been turned on power consumption control electricity in rack 120.
In some embodiments, the rack power supplies (drPower) that can freely distribute can be by by the administrator of rack 120 Or the power supply limitation (rLimit) that management software is specified subtracts the power consumption for not carrying out institute's organic frame of power consumption control (nServers), such as: disable the rack and the expected power consumption of the server in positive power-off at present of power consumption control (oServers) (for example, drPower=rLimit-(nServers+oServers)) is calculated.It is above-mentioned freely to distribute It should include the server powered off that rack power supplies, which calculate, be because server may not when these servers are then powered It will do it power consumption control, it is thus possible to consume excessive power supply.
In some embodiments, RMC 204 can be by the power distribution for the rack that can freely distribute to having been turned on automatically controlled The server of system.For example, RMC 204 can be according to the opposite of the server for each having been turned on power consumption control in rack 120 Power consumption determines the power supply limitation (sLimit) for each having been turned on the server of power consumption control.The electricity for the board that can freely distribute The power consumption of the server that source can have been turned on power consumption control according to one is relative to the power consumption controls that have been turned on all in rack 120 The ratio of the total power consumption of server is allocated.The power supply limitation (sLimit) of one server can be to distribute to this server The ratio quantity for the rack power supplies that can freely distribute.
In some embodiments, RMC 204 can determine the maximum power consumption of server 210.The maximum power consumption of server 210 Amount (sPowerConsumption) can empirically data determine.For example, RMC204 can be collected from Service controll Device 214 and service controller 224 with time change power consumption measurement (historical data).RMC 204 can pass through The average value of the power consumption of history is calculated to determine maximum power consumption.RMC 204 can be by judging the power consumption being collected into Maximum power consumption measurement in measurement is to determine maximum power consumption.Maximum power consumption can be according to server and/or clothes The specification of CPU in business device is configured.Maximum power consumption can be the value that administrator specifies.
In some embodiments, RMC 204 can determine the maximum of all servers for having enabled power consumption control in rack 120 Power consumption.For example, RMC 204 can add up all clothes for having enabled power consumption control in (such as: calculating summation) rack 120 The maximum power consumption magnitude of business device, to determine to have enabled the total power consumption of the server of power consumption control in rack 120 (trPowerConsumption)。
In some embodiments, RMC 204 can be by being multiplied by server for governable rack power supplies (drPower) 210 power consumption (sPowerConsumption) comes compared to the ratio of total rack power consumption (trPowerConsumption) Determine that the power consumption control of server 210 limits (sLimit).For example, RMC 204 can be by calculating sLimit= DsPower* (sPowerConsumption/trPowerConsumption) come determine server power supply limit.
In some embodiments, once calculating the power consumption control limitation of server 210, power consumption control is can be transmitted in RMC 204 It limits to server 210.For example, RMC 204 can be transmitted power consumption control and limit to the Shelf Management Controller of server 210 214.Service controller 214 can then adjust all parts (such as: central processing unit (CPU) 212) of server 210, So that server consumption is less than the power supply that the specified power consumption control of server 210 limits.In some embodiments, Service controll Device 214 can limit the power consumption for carrying out automatic management server 210 according to the calculated server power supply of RMC 204.Citing comes It says, and the configuration of the adjustable CPU 212 of service controller 214 (such as: P- state, power supply status, mode of operation, operating frequency Deng), to reduce frequency operated by CPU 212, to reduce electricity consumed by server 210.
The mode that the power consumption control limitation that RMC 204 can be similar to aforementioned server 210 calculates calculates server 220 Power consumption control limitation.For example, RMC 204 can be transmitted a power consumption control and limit to the rack management control of server 220 Device 224.Service controller 224 can then adjust server 220 all parts (such as: CPU 222), so that server The power supply of power consumption control limitation is specified in 220 consumption less than the RMC of server 220.Service controller 224 can be according to RMC 204 Calculated server power supply limits the power consumption for carrying out automatic management server 220.For example, service controller 224 can be with The configuration (such as: P- state etc.) for adjusting CPU 222, to reduce frequency operated by CPU 22, to reduce by 220 institute of server The electricity of consumption.
